Crafty Ribbons Challenge - We're Back!!

Hello my lovelies.

I do hope you are all still out there and wanting to join in with our challenges again this year.

We had a long break over Christmas, time to recharge our batteries and enjoy time with our families etc.

I hope you all had a fabulous Festive Season and your New Year is off to a good start too.

Thank you to those of you who took part in our Advent Event, I am sure all our winners are now enjoying their winnings! YAY!!

We have a few changes coming up for this year but I'll tell you about them another time.

I am sure you will like them though. **smiles**

So let's get the show on the road shall we.

As this is our first challenge of the year we wanted to come back with a bang.

So all of the three teams have made creations for this challenge. So why not pop on over to the Crafty Ribbons Challenge blog and have a look at the inspiration my team mates have come up with for you.

So, here is what I have on offer this week.

I needed a birthday present for my Mum.  I'm a bit skint after Christmas (what with buying the odd little thing for Carter!! Lol) so I wanted to do something a bit different.

So during last year I bought this box from Cuddly Buddly

I had forgotten it was a Napkin Box (may have to add a pack of lovely napkins in there too then!)

I decided to jazz it up a bit.

So here you go:

The top:

Now on here I have used three different ribbons and a funky fibre.

All the ribbons can be found at Crafty Ribbons

I have used Wide Satin Ribbon, narrow satin ribbon and wire edged tafetta ribbon all in shades of purple.

Three of the sides are like this:

The papers are some that I have had for simply ages and I can't remember what make they are but they fitted with my colour scheme perfectly.

The three little flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I bought them a while back now during one of their fab sales.

Then the front side of the box looks like this:

Again this is from Wild Orchid Crafts, again bought in their most recent sale.

So here is a closer look at the arrangement on the top:

The sprigs of heather, the flowers, the diddy rosebuds and the twirly stems are all from Wild Orchid Crafts

The two feathers are from a lady on FB and the three little resin roses (you can see them in the top pic) I had from Jude via FB (thanks hunni).

So folks there you have it.

My napkin box for my Mum's birthday.  I hope she likes it.

Can't wait to see what you all have on offer for us this week.

Enjoy and have fun.
